The Nickelsdorf power plant will be built in three sections as a hybrid installation, combining photovoltaics and wind energy. The PV installation has a total capacity of 112 megawatts.
The plant, located in the east of Austria close to the Hungarian and Slovakian border, is built using the latest generation of the Schletter FS UNO single-pile system. In addition to its durability, the mounting system's cost-effectiveness was a decisive factor in its selection.

"With the FS UNO, a lot of PV power can be installed on fewer supports without structural disadvantages," explains Stefanie Kammerbauer, head of project management. "In addition, it is quick and easy to assemble on site. By optimizing the individual components, the system can be easily adapted to different terrain profiles and foundations. In Nickelsdorf, conventional pile foundations were used. The advantage: The soil is not sealed and retains its natural functions.
Schletter Group has form in Austria
This is not the first project for the Schletter Group in the Alpine Republic. Back in 2020, the company supplied the mounting systems for what was then Austria's largest ground-mounted installation in Schönkirchen. The 15-megawatt solar park on a disused landfill site was erected with the FS DUO dual-pile system. (mfo)
